Re: POLAND 2014

There is nothing particulary 'Polish' in 'My Slowianie'.

1) It's sung entirely in Polish (not sure how that can be seen as not "Polish" xshrug)
2) It includes folk elements
3) The lyrics are pretty much an ironic take on Polish and "Eastern/Slavic" contemporary stereotypes and pretty much a mid finger to "the west"

Clearly you and I are talking about two different songs xshrug

Re: POLAND 2014

Hmmm they're both from 1968, which one is the original?
I think the polish one, Russia is famous for covering stuff:

Apparently the Polish one is from 1968 and the Russian version from 1969, but I dunno :lol:

Re: POLAND 2014

I got both the original and revamped versions of Da Bop stuck in my head. Not sure whether it's great or annoying...

Musicwise this has nothing in common with Polish ethno music. It's just random and very stereotypical view of Slavic (? I am not even sure about it) folklore in general.
And if 'the west' thinks that's how looks contemporary village in Poland, it means that 'the west' is retarded.

The other think is that Slavic identity in Poland is relatively weak in comparison to other Slavic nations.

Re: POLAND 2014

I dunno, atleast that's what the sources I found state xshrug

Oh well, "bop bop bop bop bop bop...." :lol: It's cute

I don't think it really matters, the song has become a huge hit in USSR and it's classic right now, i'm sure 99% of people don't know it's actually a polish song :D

Btw, it's Pa-pa-pa-parapa-pa-pa :lol:

OMG, Wiśniewski & Urbańska in one song are a nightmare, even if it's a parody. :mrgreen:
The guy who's doing Wiśniewski's voice is really good! :D

BTW, look what I found: Edyta doing a parody of herself :lol: :
I did not belong to him
There was no you-know-what
Neither with him nor without him
That was all because of some hack writers
I know, when I turn into a camel
I'll have a deviation
And everything's going to be OK
Because every rumour is of value
And if you have problems with your ego
Just go and build something of Lego blocks
And if you don't succeed blame it all on me
Because it's my fault
Everything is my fault
My fault.....

Re: POLAND 2014

Re: POLAND 2014

We have semi final 2, with UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria voting. Also Lithuania nad Belarus ( but I wouldn't count on many votes from them :p ). Greece always qualify (right?), Norway and Georgia almost always (1 miss), rest is "beatable".

Now we must help ourselves and our chances with the SONG!

If it wasn't for first part of the semi, this draw would be near perfect...
First semi scares me :eek:
